| Fab Words from Fab Gals |
Hey FGs!
You always hear it's important to listen to your heart, and follow your own voice. But some days, when you're not feeling so confident, it can be hard to know what your voice is even saying, or maybe it's even telling you something negative - I can't do this. I'm not good enough. On those days, it's okay to listen to someone else, and let another Fab Gal (or guy) lead you back to the road of confidence. This week, I'm going to let some other FGs do the talking. Hopefully, they can inspire you to embrace your uniqueness, take control... and dance.
"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm... As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others." - Audrey Hepburn
"Never dull your shine for somebody else." - Tyra Banks
"It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control." - Oprah Winfrey
"Be yourself always, there's no one better!" - Selena Gomez
"We delight in the beauty of a butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." - Maya Angelou
"If you're lucky enough to be different from everybody else, don't change." - Taylor Swift
"I used to think you had to be like everybody else to succeed. But I learned people will love you for you. The key is to be comfortable in your own skin. You have to love yourself." - Jordin Sparks "To dance confident in fringe panties when you're five-four with cellulite is a great thing." - Drew Barrymore xoxo The Fab Gal Labels: Audrey Hepburn, confidence, Drew Barrymore, fab gal, Jordin Sparks, Maya Angelou, Oprah, quotes, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Tyra Banks |

| Doin it Audrey-Style |
Hey Fab Gals!
Have you ever watched Breakfast at Tiffany's? It's an oldie, but you definitely have to see it. The movie is good, but I just love watching Audrey Hepburn. She just has that something, a level of class and style that doesn't always happen with celebs anymore. Anyways, I've been reading this book - What Would Audrey Do? - to try and master some of that Audrey grace. While I don't want to be her exactly, there are definitely some pieces of Audrey-like behavior that us 21st century Fab Gals could use: - Technology - We FGs now quite a bit about the ins and outs of texting and social sites. Of course, Audrey did not the chance to make a Facebook, but I know she would have been careful with hers. Adding a billion friends you don't know, and airing out you dirty laundry in nasty notes or embarrassing photos... not very classy. Not everyone needs to know everything about you, nor should you let them.
- Boys - Well, the book said Audrey would never ask out a boy. While I think that rule is definitely worth breaking, but you should still uphold some Audrey standards. You should uphold your standards for how you are treated, but don't put so much pressure on the situation. You're Fab - you don't need a guy to prove it.
- Style - Audrey had the most amazing style. Ever. She was tasteful, but totally unique, and people are still trying to emulate her. Do what works for you. Maybe designers will be watching you one day.
- Manners - While I never met her, it is clear that Audrey could make an impression ( a good one). Everyone loved her, and I think it had to do with respect. No matter where life takes you, treat everyone like they matter, because they do. Listen when people talk, be polite, show you care - you won't be forgotten.
- Goals - Big dreamers we are, us Fab Gals. Audrey certainly had good luck, but she also relied on humility and hard work. Be confident enough to know you can get what you want, but be humble enough to remember hard work and where you came from. Roots and wings (that's what my mom says, but Audrey would agree I'm sure).
So go watch Breakfast at Tiffany's, then put that Audrey class to work! xoxo The Fab Gal Labels: Audrey Hepburn, class, fab gal, respect, style |
